Text to speech

And each language has different voices to choose from. It's an incredibly cool application that is also practical: someone today asked me what the pronunciation of Aegean was, and I used the application to verify it. It's also fun to try out the different voices and English words in different accents if you choose a non-English language to voice them.

MJ - thanks for your reply... actually, while it is similar to the multilingual text to speech demo, it can also translate from one language to another. For example, you can type a sentence in English, and ask it to translate your sentence into Chinese or Spanish (you can choose from multiple languages) for you. Then the avatar will say your sentence in Chinese or whatever language you chose!
